I bought a fire proof gun safe and installed shelves in it. I also keep a canister of dry-rid in it to keep moisture at bay. I did build the shelves so that air could flow behind and in front of them so that the fry-rid would be effective for the entire contents of the safe rather than just one area. When I reported the camera equipment i own to my insurance company, the first question they posed was do I keep it in a secured and fire proof safe. They seemed pleased when I told them what I had done. I have bern pleased with the setup. I am able to organized the safe so that things are orderly and easy to access.

I keep my cameras and lenses in two separate coolers. Because of the humidity in South Florida I keep a desiccant in each cooler that I change periodically. The coolers are stored in my room.
I have easy access to whatever gear I want to use. Lenses in one cooler and camera bodies in the other.

That is one beautiful cabinet. By your written measurements the shelves sure don't look 22 feet wide though. Lots of space.

Have a Merry Christmas,

I have a large gun safe I picked up at an Estate Sale that I put pockets in (kind of like a hanging shooe rack) and some shelves ,now I have GAS wanting to fill it up 😁

I have two Leica cameras and three lenses in one bag and two Nikon cameras and lenses in another bag. When I want to do photography I grab one or the other, sometimes both. Never a problem finding something and I don't find dust on my equipment. It works for me.

This is something you can do on your own.This is your call. No help needed.

I would say that the vast majority of break ins are those of quick opportunity. Unless the thief knows there is a safe and what is in it they will just smash and grab and get out.
Of course if you are advertising your trip to Africa to one and all that is a different story as the thieves know they have time.
We tell no one until we return of any travels except one trusted person who several times a day comes in to take care of the cats and play with them.

I somehow was assigned a hall closet close to the den, dry Colorado air, and have a State Farm personal articles policy.

Then why all the elaborate safes etc?
Just let it be taken and make a claim.

More aptly called, "shoot safe".

Equipment should be stored where it will not gather dust [so no open shelves]. If humidity is a problem, storage should be temperature and humidity controlled. Dessicants in with gear can help if you don't have one of those kind of boxes. For lots of gear, I like Bill_de's solution. Makes it easy to find what you want and put it into a bag for that day's shoot.

I got tired of not having a place for everything, although I do not have much compared to others. Decided on a "travel" solution. Went on eBay and found a pre-owned bag large enough to hold both cameras, all 4 lenses, and most of my peripherals. It is a little tight, but works for me. It also has a detachable tripod holder, wheels, a pull-out handle as well as several regular handles for carrying up and down stairs and putting into the car. The cameras are both packed with a lens attached. Now I can take it all with me and work out of my car, or I can put select items into a backpack for short hikes. It would have been nice to buy a slightly larger one for more versatility, but none were available at the time at the price I was willing to pay! This bag is compact enough I can put it in a variety of places, although right now it sits in a corner in my living room.

I do not anticipate buying additional gear any time soon, since I just gifted myself with a new lens and this bag. But when that occurs, I will either buy a bigger bag or I will buy another of similar size and put things into two bags. Too big a bag and it will get too heavy to comfortably carry when the wheels cannot be used.
